DEIRDRE OF THE SORROWS

You had a vision, of blood in the snow

A black little crow

You were sixteen years old

With the heart of a soldier, and the face of a Queen

You were kept away from the world as a wife for a jealous king and...

You broke free, to find the one you love

Back then everything was good enough

But sorrow catches up, no matter what you do

Deirdre they took everything from you

Deirdre they took everything from you

From the ends of the earth, until they left you alone

Something stirred in your souls, it said…

That Ireland was your home

So you fought, until your lover died

Now they control your life,

But that’s something you could take if you tried

You broke free, to find the one you love

Back then everything was good enough

But sorrow catches up, no matter what you do

Deirdre they took everything from you

Deirdre they took everything-

Oh sorrow catches up, no matter what you do

Deirdre they took everything from you

Deirdre they took everything from you
